Bible Card Sunday - John Olerud

John Olerud is my most favorite non-Angel of all time. He went straight to the majors from Washington State University. He played for the Blue Jays (89-96), Mets (97-99), Mariners (00-04), Yankees (04), and Red Sox (05).
Over a 17 season career he hit .295, posted a .398 on-base percentage, totalled 2,239 hits with 500 doubles and 255 home runs, and had 1,275 walks and 1,230 RBI. Olerud is one of only 26 players to ever hit for the cycle multiple times in their careers.

John's favorite verse is Romans 5:10"For if, when we were gods enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life."
